MicroLinearâ„¢ Ribbon Imprint Technology: The AT4080 incorporates Audio-Technica’s innovative MicroLinearâ„¢ ribbon imprint, which enhances durability and protects the dual ribbons from lateral flexing and distortion. This feature ensures long-lasting, reliable performance, distinguishing it from traditional fragile ribbon microphones.

Bidirectional Polar Pattern: The classic figure-of-eight polar pattern picks up sounds equally from the front and back of the microphone, providing balanced audio capture. This bidirectional pattern makes the AT4080 ideal for various recording applications, including vocals, instruments, and stereo setups.

Extended Frequency Response: With a frequency range of 20 Hz to 18,000 Hz, the AT4080 delivers natural audio reproduction. This wide frequency response ensures that every subtle detail is captured with accuracy, making it suitable for both studio recording and live sound applications.

High SPL Capability: The AT4080 is designed to handle high sound pressure levels, making it versatile for different recording environments. Whether capturing loud instruments or delicate vocals, this microphone performs exceptionally well under various conditions.

N50 Rare Earth Magnets: Equipped with powerful N50 rare earth magnets, the AT4080 delivers a high output level, ensuring clear and powerful sound. These magnets contribute to the microphone’s overall sensitivity and provide a reliable signal.

Phantom-powered Active Electronics: The microphone’s active electronics are phantom-powered, providing stable impedance and higher output. This makes the AT4080 highly compatible with most microphone preamplifiers, eliminating the need for specialized equipment.

Handcrafted Construction: Each AT4080 is meticulously handcrafted, including the ribbon corrugation, imprint, and assembly. This attention to detail ensures superior quality, durability, and long-term reliability.

Included Accessories: The AT4080 comes with a custom shock mount that provides superior isolation from handling noise and vibrations. Additionally, the package includes a protective carrying case and a dust cover for added protection during storage and transportation.
